ABIGAIL EVERETT
Abigail Everett is a freshman at Barnard College studying Political Science and Sociology. In high school, she founded the Students for Prison Education (SPE) initiative. Through her work with SPE, Abigail and her peers worked diligently in (1) reducing recidivism among formerly-incarcerated individuals in Connecticut by promoting education and literacy among formerly-incarcerated people and their family members, and (2) educating and galvanizing people in positions of privilege to actively engage in improving the quality of life for people impacted by the criminal legal system. 

Abigail held the position of Administrative Coordinator, as well as, Research Assistant for the From the Inside Out project at the Center for Justice at Columbia University during the summer of 2019. In her role as Administrative Coordinator, Abigail worked alongside the Artistic Director and Operations Manager of the project facilitating technical and administrative support. Abigail’s research included analyzing popular media to unearth dehumanizing labels and stereotypical representations of people who have been directly impacted by the criminal legal system through personal experience, as well as those indirectly impacted by having incarcerated family members. This research aimed to bring understanding to how the general public forms perceptions of different groups of people based on the common labels used to reference them. Abigail presented the research findings at the 2019 Language in Justice Conference. 

As part of her senior thesis, Abigail conducted a year-long qualitiative research project which evaluated the efficacy of nonstatist transformative justice processes in addressing sexual violence. She presented her findings at the World Symposium at Greens Farms Academy. At Barnard, she hopes to continue this research and establish a social service agency that supports survivors of sexual violence and promotes campus safety without involvement of the NYPD or college administration.
